While we may not have been going home, we were on an adrenaline high still and looking forward to a shower.

The acclimatization seems to be helping, because we can tell that we’re feeling better each morning waking up at 13,000ft.

our camp is next to this huge rockface called the Barranco Wall.  As we began our hike, Calvin told us, “So we’re going up that.”

OK, now Adam gets the altitude. Our pace has slowed slightly, but we are both feeling strong

Modi woke us up with tea this morning at 6:30am. Breakfast was served at 7:30am, then we set off on the trail at 8am.

Our head guide, Calvin, met us at our hotel at 8:30am this morning.

We ate like kings for 3 meals a day.  Kumba and Mudi cooked some delicious meals.

On our day off prior to our climb, our head guide took us to visit several local Chagga villages.
